Have the students practice the "elevator pitch." How to answer without rambling on. Smile. Offer to shake hands or bump elbows. Speak up (the pits are loud.) Thank the judges (they are also volunteers.)

Talking with the judges is the same skill set you will need to interview for internships and college.

NEMO (www.firstnemo.org) has some papers on the resource page. Also a link to a presentation on judging.

Have fun!
